"Dippy," the much-loved Diplodocus at London's Natural History Museum will be leaving his home for a stint at Dorset's County Museum in Dorchester.

As part of Dippy's tenure, the museum are putting on special Dinosaur Sleepovers which will take place on February 17 and April 7.

The 26-metre Diplodocus skeleton is a museum icon and has been on display for more than 100 years. Found in Wyoming, USA.

The sleepovers will include a tour of Dippy, fossil workshops and dinosaur film screenings.

Tickets are £30 per person regardless of age (this is higher than our normal sleepover price due to the special one-off nature of the event). Your ticket includes Saturday evening activities, film, and snacks, and Sunday morning breakfast.
